For example, how can you be “absolutely positive” the percentage of 2 point conversions will go up? Because more teams will practice going for 2 and then do so? If that’s the case, won’t more teams practice defending against 2 point attempts? Aren’t they also likely to get better defending the 2 point attempts?And after posting, “GO FOR IT!!! get the 2 points and don't open the door for the more assertive team to take it from you!!!”, you modify that by posting: First, the goal is to score more points and I don't know how an objective fan can argue with McCarthy’s success in that regard. Since he’s been the HC (including his first crappy season), his teams have averaged finishing between #6 and #7 in the league in scoring by averaging about 28 ppg. Second, you seem to be saying McCarthy should go for 2 against teams like the Bears – when it wouldn’t make any difference, but when they play the top run defenses – like the Seahawks in the NFCC game – he should be more conservative.BTW, doesn’t “I wonder if McCarthy has a full sack” convey the exact same meaning as “he needs to grow some balls”?</blockquote>
